Which rock and roll legend inspired The Ramones' band name?

The Ramones' band name is a nod to Paul McCartney, who used the alias "Paul Ramone" when traveling incognito. In a snarkier fashion, the band members (Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny and Tommy Ramone) adopted the same surname as a parody of the many TV family bands of the day, like The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, The Osmonds, etc.
